1-2 Pounds of salmon (Wash and pat dry)
Salt
Pepper
3-4 Shallots (Minced)
1 1/2 T. Olive oil

1 T Dijon mustard
1/2 C. Light Mayo
1. T Lemon juice
1/2 T. Minced garlic
Salt

1. Mix all the dressing ingredients together. You may add salt if the dressing is too sour for you.

Note: I like to make the dressing a few hours before so you can taste the garlic in the dressing. 

Salmon Recipe:

1. Add salt and pepper over salmon
2. Heat pan or dutch oven pot over medium high heat
3. Add Olive oil and minced shallots
4. Once the shallots start to sizzle, add the salmon & cover over medium low heat for 15-20 minutes
5. Let the salmon cool for 10-15 minutes

Creating the salad:

I like to use local greens from the Farmer's market. I love using Organic spring mix an arugula with salmon, however, you can use whatever lettuce you enjoy the most. To make the salad more fun, I love adding sprouts such as : Wheat sprouts, lentil sprouts, pea sprouts, onion sprouts, and alfalfa sprouts. If you don't have that in your kitchen, you can always add sliced red onions and sun flower seeds. You can also add flax seed if you're a health nut like me! ;)

A little secret about my cooking......I NEVER buy ingredients for a particular dish. If I did that, it would create a huge hole in my wallet. ;) I try to use whatever I buy from the farmer's market and create a healthy dish for either breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I currently do meal planning to help assist people who work full time and don't have enough time to cook but would like to eat and live a healthier life style.
